Police find drugs in house search
Three men were arrested and class A drugs seized after police executed a warrant on a house in the Ditherington area of Shrewsbury on Tuesday.
Concerns had been raised by the local community and police acted on intelligence received to secure the arrests under the misuse of drugs act.
Officers recovered more than £1,000 in cash, a substantial amount of suspected class A drugs and various items of associated drugs paraphernalia.
A 46-year-old man from Shrewsbury was arrested on suspicion of possession of heroin and has been released under investigation.
A 37-year-old man from Shrewsbury was arrested on suspicion of possession of heroin and has been released under investigation.
A 19-year-old man from Dudley was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cocaine and has been bailed until 8 August.
Sergeant Keith Steele of Shrewsbury Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “We are keen to show those involved in the supply of drugs that they will not be tolerated in our neighbourhoods.
“Their activities cause our communities nothing but harm and we are committed to tackling their activities swiftly and decisively.
“We rely on the support of our communities to tell us what is going on in your neighbourhood and I would like to encourage everyone to report any suspicious behaviour to us.”
